"Sir this isn't Olivia's finger. She may still be alive."
********************************************************************************************************"Olivia, why did you lie to me? Why have me believe you are dead? Is this what you really want? To be rid of me? If so I would have let you go." Fitz said as he held Olivia close to him, she felt his heart beating rapidly through his shirt. "I love you Olivia but you didn't have to lie to me. I would have understood if you asked me to let you go." Olivia backed up to stare him directly in his eyes. "You know damn well if I asked you to let me go you wouldn't have. The last time I did that you played games, I'm a grown ass woman and I don't have to answer to you." Fitz looked hurt, He turned to face away from Olivia, He turned back but his face began to fade. "If you want me gone Olivia, I will be gone."
She had to get materials for the week that was about to come. "IAN!"
He came running to the room with his gun already drawn. "Yes Olivia? Why the hell did you yell like that?!" His face was red and his left eye twitched. She figured from adrenaline or he wasn't as hard as he put on the front.
"My period will be starting in the next few days, I need materials for that." She gave a slight smile.
"Well what do you need?" He asked hesitantly. Sh gave another smile, this one more inviting and more open to him. "Just a few things…"
After Olivia gave her list to Ian and he left she began to think about her dream. What if Fitz figured out that it wasn't her finger, what if he continues to look for her? She couldn't have that, she needed to be put on the black market ASAP.

Fitz had been antsy for days waiting for the DNA results to come back on the finger. He knew in his heart that it wasn't Olivia's finger, it couldn't be. If it wasn't her finger then why was it sent to him? Was it her way of giving him a sign, and if so what could the sign be?
A solid three knocks came on the door and Fitz knew that meant the results were waiting for him. He took a deep breath before opening the door and getting the folder. He sat down on his bed, took a very deep breath and opened the folder. He couldn't open it. He called for Cyrus to come in and read the results. He read them before he said the results out load. "Sir this isn't Olivia's finger. She may still be alive. It wasn't her finger. Now what? Does he continue the search? Or does he finally let he go?

Breaking News: It seems that the finger sent to the White House is NOT Olivia Pope's finger, DNA analysis has been given to The President and we are about to tune into his press conference."Good Afternoon everyone, As you all know a person very dear to my administration was kidnapped three and a half weeks ago. Her kidnappers sent a finger in the mail, wanting to fool us all into thinking she was dead. We do not know at this time if she is alive or dead but we do know for sure our search for one of my administrations most valuable assets. Thank you and God Bless America and Olivia."
